Half an hour later, when Su Rui was pushed out of the delivery room, the baby was already carried to the ward by Mother Su, Mother Gu, the nanny and a few others.

Tang Xiao and Liu Ling, who just arrived, also went to the ward to play with the baby.

There were only Gu Yu Cheng and Zhou Zi Yuan, sitting beside him, waiting outside the delivery room.

Seeing Su Rui being pushed out of the room, Gu Yu Cheng walked forward, and his face filled with uncontainable joy.

“Rui Rui, how are you feeling?” Gu Yu Cheng asked gently and looked at the slightly pale woman in front of him with great distress.

When Su Rui heard this, she nodded and shook her head.

After the excruciating pain in the delivery room, Su Rui suddenly wanted to cry once she saw Gu Yu Cheng.

However, in the end, she suppressed it.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Gu Yu Cheng lowered his head and tried to kiss the woman in front of him. However, Su Rui turned her head and avoided him.

“I’m all sweaty.”

Su Rui didn’t have a mirror at hand, so she does not have any idea of her current appearance in Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes. But I must look pretty dishevelled, right?

Su Rui thought with a hint of self-disgust.

At first, Gu Yu Cheng’s heart sank for a moment when Su Rui avoided him. Then, he was a bit amused by Su Rui’s subsequent words that he heard.

He held Su Rui’s hands and let out a soft chuckle. Thereafter, he lowered his head and kissed Su Rui’s forehead very affectionately.

“Thank you, wifey.”

Hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s words, Su Rui also smiled.

Suppressing her fatigue, Su Rui winked at Gu Yu Cheng, “You’re welcome. You just have to remember to treat me well.”

“Alright,” Gu Yu Cheng said with a smile. Then, he whispered in Su Rui’s ear, “I’ll be good to you for the rest of my life. I will treat you well with all I have.”

Gu Yu Cheng said this softly, but those who were standing near them heard it too.

The nurse looked at the two in front of her with some envy. Her face unconsciously revealed a smile.

My god, this is Gu Yu Cheng.

To this day, there are still a handful of people on the internet who don’t believe in the relationship between the Chairman of the Gu Company and the young lady of Suhua Group. They still think that it is just an everyday act between the affluent families.

It is so exciting for her to witness the true love between these two personally.

If not for the hospital’s rules, she would have wanted to take a picture of such a happy scene in front of her and post it to her Moments[1].

Meanwhile, after being stimulated by Gu Yu Cheng’s mushiness resulting in his hair standing on ends, Zhou Zi Yuan also looked at Gu Yu Cheng with his arms crossed and raised his eyebrows with interest.

Zhou Zi Yuan teased, “(Cough) (Cough) Lao Gu, this is a public space. Mind your actions.”

Only then did Su Rui notice that Zhou Zi Yuan was also present.

Her face immediately flushed.

After she bobbed her head, greeted and thanked Zhou Zi Yuan, Su Rui then looked at the man in front of her again.

“And the elders on both sides, as well as our child.”

“Okay.”

“Where’s the baby?” Su Rui asked.

“Mum and the others carried him to the ward,” Gu Yu Cheng answered.

“It’s a boy.”

Su Rui replied with a smile, “I know.”

When she was still in the delivery room, the doctor brought the baby to her and confirmed the gender.

After that, they even let her hold him for a short while.

When the baby was placed in her arms, his eyes were shut, and he was a soft little one moving about.

The skin of his body was very red and a little wrinkled. His body was covered in vernix,^[2] making him look dirty and ugly.

However, Su Rui just found him especially cute.

It was only a short while since she saw him, and she actually missed him a little.

“Let’s return to the ward,” Su Rui said and pulled Gu Yu Cheng.

“Okay.”

Su Rui wanted to go back to the ward quickly to see her baby.

But before she was even pushed back to the ward, she had already fallen asleep.

Gu Yu Cheng was startled when he noticed Su Rui suddenly not moving.

“Nurse, what’s wrong with my wife?”

Noticing the nervousness on Gu Yu Cheng’s face that could not be faked, the nurse beside him couldn’t help but smile.

“Mr Gu doesn’t need to worry. Everything is fine.” The nurse smiled and said soothingly to Gu Yu Cheng, “Childbirth is a very demanding physically and an exhausting endeavor. Right now, Mrs Gu is just too tired and fell asleep.”

“You can let Mrs Gu sleep for a while. When she wakes up later, it is important for her to promptly replenish her fluid level and also try to let her lie on her back for 6 to 8 hours.”

The nurse explained a little more.

Hearing the nurse’s words, Gu Yu Cheng let out a sigh of relief.

After the nurse left, Gu Yu Cheng sat down beside the hospital bed.

As he looked at the woman’s sleeping face in front of him and the baby next to him, an insuppressible smile appeared on his face.

This smile looked a bit silly.

Luckily, at this moment, the people next to him were either busy preparing things for the mother and baby or busy posting on their Moments and replying to other’s good wishes. Their attention was on the baby, so no one noticed how silly Chairman Gu was smiling now.
